They tend to become loose when frequently inflating/deflating and when running tires at low pressure. I had problems with the stem cores loosening on my truck when oversanding on the beaches at Cape Cod several days in a row (the tires are deflated to 11 psi to drive on the beach and then filled back up to 36 psi when getting back on pavement). The cores frequently loosen on my ATV as well. The tires on an ATV run between 3.5 - 5 psi. I’ve never had a problem on cars, but I did need to replace one on a golf cart.

Methinks he means "valve caps"...

FYI. Costco has this little gizmo for those that don’t own an air compressor. Very convenient, as once you screw it onto the tire stem, it tells you the tire pressure, and you simply put in the desired air pressure and it automatically stops once you get there. Pretty small, and can be kept in a car or golf cart. $50 online or $40 in the store.

After every hurricane check your tire pressure on cars and golf carts.
Hurricanes change the barometric pressure in the area.

Seriously? BTW, check your spelling in the title.
